Script: Denis Villeneuve
Co-produced by the National Film Board of Canada and Marblemedia in association with Sundance, and with the financial participation of Ericsson.
A young politician has 100 seconds to convince his audience to vote for him. His speech becomes an improvisation in which he tries to capture the needs of the crowd. According to the reactions of the crowd, he changes his ideas and opinions and goes back on his promises. He focuses on seducing the audience by finding out what they want to hear. A satirical parody that shows a man abandoning his world view in hope of seducing the masses. The ideas are not an end but a means.
